--- Begin Message ---Package: libmusicbrainz3 Severity: important Version: 3.0.2-2 The primary (and really only) purpose of the package libmusicbrainz3 is to facilitate access to the MusicBrainz web based API for looking up data. The MusicBrainz service offers three APIs: - legacy RDF API (deprecated) - original XML API (deprecated) http://musicbrainz.org/doc/XML_Web_Service/Version_1 - XML Web Service v2 http://musicbrainz.org/doc/XML_Web_Service/Version_2 The package libmusicbrainz3 is based around the MusicBrainz original XML API (version 1). When v2 was released, v1 of the API was meant to continue working. In practice, this isn't completely true. As an example, queries for albums involving multiple discs are not returning the individual disc-level data. Therefore, the package libmusicbrainz3 is no longer able to provide reliable data for some queries. - the package needs to be updated to use the new API (Version_2), preferably with some effort to provide support in squeeze (even if it is only through backports) - the current package should probably not go out in wheezy at all - only the new version should go in wheezy - maybe the MusicBrainz service can be encouraged to fix the backward-compatibility issues in the Version_1 web service The maintainer of flactag (Andy Hawkins, CC) is developing an alternate C++ library for the Version_2 XML API. It is already at the stage where it is suitable for inclusion in unstable as a replacement for libmusicbrainz3, preferably flactag can be included in unstable with it so that people can evaluate the library. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.musicbrainz.devel/4303 http://software.gently.org.uk/flactag-1.1/ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507876
